Iñigo Garbayo

Iñigo
holds a M.Sc. in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (2010) and a PhD in Nanoscience
(2013) from the University of Barcelona (ES), in collaboration with the
Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC). His PhD was focused
on the integration of thin film complex oxides in silicon technology for
portable powering devices (micro solid oxide fuel cells, µSOFC). Afterwards, he
has worked as Post-Doctoral researcher at the Catalonia Institute for Energy
Research, IREC (ES) (2013-2014 and 2016-2019) and ETH Zürich (CH) (2014-2016),
in the field of power-to-gas systems, solid state microbatteries and sensors
and, lately, thin film oxide ionic and mixed ionic-electronic ceramic
conductors for low temperature energy applications. Additionally, he has
carried out several research stays at recognized international institutions
such as DTU Energy (DK) (2012) or SPMS, École Centrale Paris (FR) (2010).

Iñigo has
great experience in forefront thin film deposition (PLD, ALD, sputtering...) and
characterization (EIS, SEM, AFM, XRD, Raman, ellipsometry...) techniques, as well
as state-of-the-art microfabrication technologies and Clean Room processing. His
area of expertise covers a wide range of disciplines, from basic materials
science and solid state ionics, to nanotechnology or microengineering. During
his career, Iñigo has carried out multiple collaborative works with top
national (ES) and international institutions, including MIT (US), ETH (CH), PSI
(CH), EMPA (CH), DTU (DK), SPMS (FR) or ICN2 (ES). Moreover, he has experience
in students' supervision (PhD, M.Sc. and bachelor).

Since February
2019, he is based at CIC energiGUNE, where he works as Post-Doctoral researcher
in the Advanced Interface Analysis group under the Li-S research line.
